[verse 1]
It's a new day, new rapper, new star
New talent, new real MC with new bars
New Biggie, new Ra, Pac, Jigga, new Nas
Nigga, Noodle's nicer than dudes claiming to be from Mars
New jewels, new suits, new chicks, new cars
I thought all you niggas knew that this dude is just too hard
New game, new image, new boss, new squad
I am on a new level, from you I am too far
New grind, new shine, new beef, new 9
New street, new lines, if you beef, then you're dying
No sleep, no time, new slang, new walk
You talk, pop pop, bang bang, it's New York
New struggle, new hustle, new bread, new butter
New hood, new projects, new ghetto, new gutter
New paper, new style, new life, new way
New MC taking over this game, it's a new day!
[chorus]
It's a new day...
It's a new day...
It's a new day...
It's a new day...
[outro]
They say it's time for a change and a change is here.
New way of life, new style of music.
New leaders of hip hop, new leaders of the world!
I am here and I refuse to rest.
The dark was present, but the sun has now risen so follow me!
Stand for something or fall for anything.
United we stand, divided we fall.
To fall is to fail, and failure is not an option!
Hip hop believes in me like I believe in me!
The MC who disagrees or challenges me will no longer be an MC!
I do it for the people like Barack, so watch and see hip hop's prophet rise like sunshine, through rhymes.
16's is mean with a message and a meaning, which means you MCs with no meaning, mean nothing.
This album is a definition of progress, and my way to say keep your head up.
It's a New Day...
